VIII volume della pubblicazione integrale dei reperti del santuario atestino della dea Reitia, frequentato in epoca preromana e romana. La pubblicazione integrale degli oltre 14.000 reperti vede in questo volume tutti i Varia metallici, i piccoli reperti che, non potendosi iscrivere in una categoria precisa di oggetti o risultando ripetitivi sono stati riuniti sulla base delle caratteristiche di produzione. Il volume prevede un catalogo sistematico introdotto da commenti critici volti alla definizione della datazione, e della funzione dei manufatti in relazione al culto

Il volume raccoglie i risultati della prima campagna della ricognizione archeologica effettuata dall’Università Ca’ Foscari nel sito di Altino, in località Ghiacciaia, un’ampia area di proprietà demaniale che corrisponde alla parte nord-orientale dell’abitato della città antica. Si tratta quindi di uno dei pochi interventi sistematici sull’area urbana, rimasta sino ad ora ai margini delle ricerche sulla città veneta. I docenti, i dottorandi e gli studenti coinvolti affrontano sia temi generali – dalla storia degli studi sull’area alle tecniche di ricognizione –ma soprattutto l'edizione sistematica dei materiali raccolti nel corso della ricognizione, fornendone un basilare inquadramento tipologico e cronologico. L’indagine archeologica e la ricerca scientifica che in questi ultimi decenni hanno interessato l’area altinate mettono sempre più in luce la rilevanza del sito, che si impone come uno dei luoghi nodali nel panorama veneto dalla prima età del Ferro fino all’età tardoantica, indissolubilmente legato alla nascita di Torcello e quindi all’origine di Venezia.

The Sanctuary of Reitia was discovered in 1880 in Este
in the property of Domenico Baratella and between
1880 and 1890 the Sanctuary was excavated by the landowners; then, from 1987 to 1991, it was systematically investigated by the Institut für Ur-und Frühgeschichte of the University of Cologne, under the direction of Professor Dr. Heinz-Werner Dämmer, who is overseeing the publication of any materials found and funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
The Sanctuary’s ritual attendance lasted from the end of
the 7th century BC to the 2nd century AD almost, showing a slow assimilation of the Reitia Venetian cult into the Minerva/Bona Dea Roman one.

Le anfore vinarie Dressel 6A sono frequentemente contraddistinte da marchi, che, attraverso l'analisi onomastica e proso-pografica coniugata alla disanima delle caratteristiche morfologiche, hanno permesso di riconoscere numerosi personaggi coinvolti nella produzione del vino e di collegarli a precise aree di provenienza, ipotesi confermate anche dalle indagini archeometriche degli impasti. A tali aree corrispondono anche le diverse qualità di vino contenute nelle Dressel 6A e commercializzate in Cisalpina, a Roma, nella Raetia e nel Noricum, in Oriente e in Grecia. L'analisi delle anfore ritrovate numerose in contesti datati in alcune città della Venetia permette di creare una sequenza cronologica delle presenze delle Dressel 6A, evidenziandone le caratteristiche morfologiche, epigrafiche e degli impasti, a partire dall'età augustea e con-sentono di formulare nuove ipotesi sulla provenienza e sulla cronologia finale, prolungando la loro diffusione almeno fino agli anni immediatamente successivi al 78/80 d.C.

AD. Often the same stamp is on different types of amphorae, not always associated with the same foodstuff. The amphorae production area is in the medio Adriatic region, proved by morphological and archaeometrical analysis, onomastic and epigraphic analysis, archaeological excavation of villae and workshops. Is manifest a complex and articulated economic situation in which members of the senatorial order are involved in the cultivation of fundi, in the production of the amphorae and in the commercialization of mid-Adriatic wine and oil with the members of gens Iulia, usually liberti.
The members of gens Iulia manage relevant economic profits to the advantage of imperial family, probably
in locatio/conductio relationship.

Since 2016 it has been carried the "Adriatic amphorae production" project,
supported by the Department of Cultural Heritage of the University of Padua, in
collaboration with dr. Lara Maritan of the Department of Geoscience for
Archaeometrical studies. The main purposes of the project are the following ones:
the study of the western Adriatic coast amphorae productions and the analysis of
recent investigations led in Northern Italy, the collection of new data on kilns,
ceramic waste, pottery workshops and, finally, the analysis of the relationship
between amphorae's typologies and production's areas.
Thus, the aims of the study is to integrate the Adriatic amphorae productions
research, especially those on Dressel 6A, Dressel 6B, Dressel 2-4, collo ad imbuto,
Adriatic fish-sauce amphorae, flat bottom amphorae. Additionally, it will be run a
sampling and archaeometrical analysis, in order to allow a comparative analysis
database and, eventually, a scientific publication of the results.
The present work is going to present the research status about the amphorae
workshops recognized along the western Adriatic coast and Northern Italy.

The aim of this paper is to analyse some aspects related to the ritual and the set-composition of a group of grave from the Roman necropolis of Oderzo. First of all, the external markers of the graves are analysed: they are tiles, amphorae, small mounds. Then we describe the libation ducts identified during the excavations, made by amphora necks. A specific ritual is underlined in some cremation graves of the 1st century AD. They have miniaturist jars with their own lid made by common ceramic, which lay down almost always in pairs, outside the ossuary in common ceramic too, as a secondary offer. These little jars seem to characterise infant burials, probably female.

Presso il Museo della Centuriazione Romana di Borgoricco (PD) è esposta una tomba rinvenuta recentemente nell’agro centuriato a nord-est di Patavium, un territorio suddiviso ed assegnato ai veterani dell’esercito quasi certamente nel corso della seconda metà del I sec. a.C. Nel sito in cui è stata trovata la tomba è stato identificato un ampio impianto artigianale per la produzione fittile, che inizia la
sua attività nel corso dell’età tardorepubblicana e sembra concluderla in corrispondenza con la deposizione di questa e almeno altre due tombe a incinerazione e dell’inumazione di un cavallo, anch’essa visibile al Museo. I materiali del corredo, databili ad età augusteo-tiberiana, sono riconducibili al mundus muliebre e rimandano anche all’età infantile, permettendo di attribuire la tomba ad una bambina di età inferiore all’anno.

The general framework of Oderzo’s cemeteries, already known from 1800, has changed since the mid - 80’s of last century, thanks to many emergency excavations. Such digs have helped to define and document archaeologically the location and the characteristics of the burial grounds. In particular, for the purposes of this study, after examination of the archive documentation and the global census of burials, were examined all available grave goods for a total of 396 tombs (end of the I century BC - VI-VII centuries AD). At the current state of research, we can ascribe to the period between the III and IV centuries AD nearly 30% of the burials, documenting the almost exclusive claim of the inhumation rite.

The paper is aimed at presenting the first results of two
rescue excavations carried out in 2014/15 in Padua, one in the
northern, the other in the southern suburb of the ancient city. In
both cases funerary contexts were found, confirming arrangements
already suggested by previous discoveries. In the northern site some
cremation and inhumation graves were found, together with three recovery structures with amphoras and a particular dump, full of
animal bones; all the elements date back to the late republican era.
In the southern site other cremations were discovered, in connection
with a monument base, some relics of possible funerary enclosures
and a recovery structure with amphoras; this second evidence dates
back to the early imperial age.

Nel suburbio settentrionale di Altinum (Venezia, Veneto), poco lontano dalla via Annia, erano situati una grande villa, databile tra l'età augustea ed il II secolo d.C., composta da un settore residenziale di pregio e da un settore produttivo, ed un esteso quartiere artigianale cui appartenevano almeno due fornaci, mentre altre sono indiziate dalla presenza di ampie zone di terreno scottato e di abbondanti scarti di ceramica. Uno scarico ha restituito 33 contenitori di ceramica comune depurata a corpo cilindrico con alto bordo quadrangolare, presentati per la prima volta in questa sede in modo analitico e nella loro totalità. Contenitori analoghi realizzati in ceramica comune, anche con ingobbio, e in terra sigillata sono stati rinvenuti in diverse località dell'Italia e nelle province dell'Impero e sono stati datati all'inizio del I secolo d.C. Svariate sono le ipotesi formulate nel tempo sulla loro funzione. In base alle caratteristiche morfologiche della produzione di Altinum, che denotano una scarsa capacità di resistenza e una evidente fragilità, e all'assenza di tracce di esposizione al fuoco, viene escluso ogni uso legato al riscaldamento o alla cottura di alimenti a favore di un utilizzo sulla mensa, forse connesso alla separazione di componenti di preparazioni alimentari conservate o lavorate in un bagno liquido.

During the 19th century’s excavations of the Sanctuary of Reitia in Este a lead-glazed skyphos with molding figurative relief decoration was found. This type of Hellenistic tradition pottery was produced on imitation of precious silver specimens in Asia Minor: Relying on the shape and figurative decoration, the skyphos of Este seems to be imported from Asia Minor, comparable with the production of Tarsus.

The productive structures and the ceramic chrono-typology of the pottery workshop of via Montona were studied and four activity fases with nine kilns and productive structures were identified. The I and the II phase (half I century B.C.-half I century A.D.) are characterized by grey and coarse ceramic production, both of them of local tradition, the III and the IV phase (half I century A.D.-half II century A.D.) by the terra sigillata tardo padana, thin wall ceramic and coarse ware. Archaeometrically have been analyzed the ceramic paste of the different classes, to define the reference groups, useful to compare similar local, regional or inter-regional materials. The reference groups here presented will supply important constrains in provenance studies of pottery corresponding to these ceramic classes and to the two century span time of production activities of via Montona ceramic workshops.

area of Roman Padua of quarries for the extraction of sand and clay sediments, related to the ceramic production
and the building. It was identified a relationship between quarrying and the use of the pits for the waste, including

In the last decades our research has been focused on the study of the craft areas of Roman Patavium. We have analyzed all the archaeological traces on productive activities, such as kilns, tubs, quarries and processing waste and, on this basis, we have developed a thematic map of Roman Patavium. We have identied 16 sites related to di erent craft activities, 9 clay quarries, 4 workshops for the terracotta production, 3 metal workshops and 2 laboratories for processing bone.

General information
Periods in the Summer School’s focus: Late Republican to Late Roman (2nd BC - 6th
century AD)
Major workshop activities: The main goal of the course is to provide theoretical and
practical training experience on Roman pottery. The students will evaluate and appreciate similarities and differences in typological problems, approaches, methods, technique, design and material choice applied on different pottery classes. The participants will work with authentic pottery from the ancient city of Aquileia. Practical excercises in dfferent techniques of pottery production will also be performed by the partecipants through the use of potter’s wheel and kiln especially arranged for the Summer School.

The history and understanding of the ancient municipium of Altinum is lately drawing attention of an
increasing number of scholars. In 2016 the Department of Humanities of Ca’ Foscari University started a
campaign of archaeological excavations, intended to investigate the urban area of this Roman site. We were
able to identify this area through a comparative study between recent and historical cartography: ancient
planimetries, cadastral maps, interpretation of old and recent aerial photographs combined with the study of
archaeological documents and – in some cases unpublished – manuscripts represent the core of this project.
Integrating different types of data is crucial for the aims of our research, and it made possible to identify
traces of the archaeological record still hidden under the ground, that have been inserted in a GIS system. We
created an archaeological digital map inclusive of data from old and new field works, photo-interpretations,
archives, and surveys (such as those conducted by Ca’ Foscari University in 2012 and 2014); this resulted in
a simple and interactive tool on cartographic base, collecting all we know about Altinum.

The collection of sculpture of the Archaeological Museum of Verona includes a large quantity of material which has not been published or has not been adequately studied. Hence, a study campaign has been planned to record about 120 pieces of sculpture (statues, portraits, various types of relief, votive altars) whose documentation is either completely lacking , or is insufficient for the standards of a modern scientific catalogue. The catalogue will be published in summer 2018. Between 2012 and 2015, Ca' Foscari University of Venice conducted two intensive survey campaigns in an area close to the urban center of the Roman city of Altinum. The survey has mapped the ancient structures and has been followed by the inventory and the study of the of the finds, now being published by the students involved in the activities.

How was the ancient Roman economy organized and how can our understanding be enhanced by new theoretical and methodological approaches? Recent work on model building, complex network analysis and computer simulation technologies has integrated and analysed diverse data sets – literary sources, settlement evidence, ceramics, amphorae, epigraphy, ethnographical data – in order to reassess production, marketing and consumption across the Roman world. Examples include the Monte Testaccio Project (Baetican oil), the Cella Vinaria Project (Laetanian wine) and the Riparia Project (Baetican wine), as well as many other collaborative research initiatives around the Mediterranean and wider Roman world.
The principal objective of this session is to explore how quantitative methods and semantic-based data management techniques can improve our ability to define, validate or refute economic theories about the organisation of large-scale production and long-distance exchange of foodstuffs. We wish, in particular, to facilitate interdisciplinary discussion about how we can evaluate the role of the state versus the free market in food supply and to assess how the multiple production strategies of a mixed agricultural economy (fruits, vegetables, wheat, olive oil, wine, salted fish, garum, etc.) were integrated within specific territories and largely peasant-based economies. We are also interested in the interactions between economy and environmental variables, the theoretical limits imposed on production and productivity by arable and pastoral regimes, labour and production costs, etc. and on the relationship between production and consumption in the context of growing population.
The session will use the presentation of case studies to demonstrate various multidisciplinary methods and techniques for the analysis of complex economic systems, integrating conventional archaeological methods and landscape archaeology with econometrics and computational modelling.
We would like to invite papers that develop case studies addressing some of following:
Datasets: the representation of archaeological data; database management; ontology and semantic markers
Quantitative methods: GIS and spatial analysis of settlement patterns, production strategies, microeconomic studies, demand and supply, trade routes, markets, and consumption trends
Model building and computer simulation: the use of Agent Based Models, Complex Networks Analysis, Predictive Modelling, Spatial Econometrics and Regression Analysis

Le anfore Dressel 6B, come e ormai noto, sono contenitori destinati al trasporto dell’olio caratterizzati da orlo a fascia o a ciotola, sporgente sul collo, che si presenta troncoconico, dalla spalla leggermente svasata e arrotondata, in continuita con il corpo che ha il diametro massimo verso il fondo e si chiude con un puntale piccolo, cilindrico, a bottone.

Sulle anfore Dressel 8 similes della Venetia Riassunto: Fin dal 1990 il nostro gruppo di ricerca ha analizzato più di 5000 anfore, usate per migliorare le condizioni del terreno e bonificare le acque di superficie in molte città della Venetia, dalla metà del I sec. a. C. alla metà del II sec. d. C. Tra le anfore rinvenute, ci sono anche Dressel 7-11 e altri contenitori iberici, ma alcuni di questi, chiamati Dressel 8 similes, sembrano essere differenti dalle produzioni iberiche a causa della morfologia e delle caratteristiche dell'argilla. Il nostro scopo è quello di definire l'area di produzione di queste anfore attraverso lo studio delle loro caratteristiche morfologiche e l'analisi archeometrica. Questo lavoro fa parte di un più esteso progetto, che riguarda "Le produzioni di anfore adriatiche in epoca repubblicana ed imperiale", ricerca finanziata dal Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali dell’Università di Padova (Progetto di Ricerca DBC PRD 2016-2020).

This paper presents a review of published data and unpublished contexts with Lusitanian amphorae recovered in the western part of
the Decima Regio, the modern regions of Veneto and Lombardia.
Even though it was not possible to directly examine some published vessels in order to verify their Lusitanian provenance, they are
presented anyway, although with some doubts.
The collected evidence was all mapped, providing a basis for reconstructing the trade networks connecting the most western regions,
the northern Adriatic area and the Po Valley.
The scarce number of Lusitanian amphorae in northwestern Italy may have been affected by the incorrect identification of Lusitanian
products, and secondly, by the absence of late Roman drains in the western Decima Regio and shortage of published late Roman
contexts, which may turn out to produce this kind of amphorae.

In Roman times fishing, fish farming and fish processing represented a relevant economic feature. Indeed, ancient sources describe several procedures for fish salting, for the preparation of fish sauce (salsamenta) and the different varieties of fish plates (garum, allec, liquamen). The latest archaeological investigation allowed to identify the most common container for the fish sauces transport in the Adriatic area, as in the western Mediterranean: here, indeed, a relevant number of amphorae were used to transport and trade fish sauces. In some cases, investigations show that amphorae already used for carring wine were reused, marking the container with a writing (titulus pictus) which warned about the type of foodstuff transported, possibly not the one suggested by the shape of the amphora. Moreover, recent typological and epigraphical studies about the numerous tituli picti analysed, have allowed to identify the ''small Adriatic fish amphora'' as the principal container for trading the Adriatic fish sauces.
